    Open Vaers ^ | July 2 2021 | The Arkivist
    The censorship on social media is completely out of control. The Facebook algorithm now searches images for the words VAERs, OpenVAERS, and/or vaccine and will instantly apply up to 3 warning labels to any post that includes content from this site. Remember these are government reports on a government database that are being censored. Facebook is *not* censoring misinformation, Facebook is censoring any factual information that contradicts the Pharma narrative. This is racketeering. Meanwhile these dangerous experimental gene therapies are killing and maiming our fellow citizens.

    A 30-year-old postdoctoral researcher at the University of California's plant biology department was killed in Ethiopia when the vehicle she was riding in was struck by rocks thrown by protesters. The university said in a statement Wednesday that Sharon Gray was in the East African country for a meeting about her research when she was killed Tuesday while traveling in a car in the outskirts of the capital, Addis Ababa. Her field of study was looking at the effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide on certain tomato roots. There has been unrest in Ethiopa for months and is increasingly becoming...

    "I understand why extending unemployment insurance provides relief to people who need it, but how does that create jobs," Wall Street Journal's Laura Meckler asked Jay Carney at Wednesday's WH briefing. Carney responded: "Oh, uh, it is by, uh, I would expect a reporter from the Wall Street Journal would know this as part of the entrance exam." "There are few other ways that can directly put money into the economy than applying unemployment insurance," Carney said. Carney answers the question: "It is one of the most direct ways to infuse money directly into the economy because people who are...

    Most airlines board passengers the same way, first filling the seats in the back of the plane, and then moving to the front. After a recent experience boarding a plane in this manner, Fermilab physicist Jason Steffen wondered if there might be a better way. So, in the midst of studying gravitation and axion-like particles, Steffen took a short break to investigate an optimal boarding method for airline passengers. “I remember waiting in line to scan my ticket inside the terminal, I believe it was at the Seattle airport,” Steffen told PhysOrg.com. “I remember being quite disappointed when I saw...

    The governing council in Montgomery County, Md., is considering adopting an "open doors" policy to its public restrooms, locker rooms and other facilities to meet the demands of a transgender "non-discrimination" plan, which would allow men into women's lockers and vice versa, a support group reports. A similar federal non-discrimination plan proposed by homosexual Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., includes a provision that would prevent "transgenders" from using opposite-sex public facilities in which being seen "fully unclothed" was unavoidable, according to Peter Sprigg, a spokesman for Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays. But he said correspondence with the county staff...

    NEW YORK According to a published report, Ann Coulter has (in jest, we assume) claimed to have sent that mysterious white powder to The New York Times. Reporter Jacob Bernstein, in a "Memo Pad" item in today's Women's Wear Daily, wrote that he received a message from a New York Times source saying that Friday's powder mailing -- which included an Xed-out Times editorial and what ended up being corn starch -- "makes all of Ann Coulter's comments a little less funny. I wonder if she considers herself at all responsible when lunatics read her columns and she says that...

    About 35,000 art enthusiasts packed the Boca Raton Museum of Art this spring to view exhibits that included the paintings of Milton Avery, a modernist often called the "American Matisse." Now, seven of those paintings have vanished and so has the ex-con with a suspended driver's license who was entrusted to drive them to the Avery estate in New York. Authorities are looking for Patrick McIntosh, 36, a 6-foot, 9-inch art-transport driver who disappeared April 18 with a rented Budget truck after he loaded Avery's works along with furniture, sculptures, photos and other art from at least 14 other collectors...

    Rumour has it that following on from his attacks on President Bush Michael Moore will soon start filming what will be a fact-based blockbuster documentary exposing the corrupt workings of the European Union at home and abroad. We have an advanced copy of the film script. Michael Moore will first argue that, "even though the American political system allowed Bush to steal the election at least the USA has elections and publicly scrutinised appointments to key positions, unlike the European Union". His mocking of the European Union's political structures continues with, "it is ironic that the EU is insisting on...

    UNDER the current administration, nothing is certain except death and tax cuts. Now another tax cut is looming, and I'm all for it because after all, it's your money. When I got my $600 check from the last tax cut, I was grateful that you, the people, had given me more of your money. You could have spent that money collectively on schools, highways, health care, etc., but as patriotic individuals, you elected leaders who gave that money to me so I could blow it on the good things in life - more things, bigger things, digital things, things I...

    Lawmakers busy with 2 weeks to go ASSOCIATED PRESS August 20, 2002 SACRAMENTO – A measure that would require utilities to have 20 percent of their electricity produced from renewable sources passed a key legislative committee yesterday. As the Legislature entered its final two weeks of the session, lawmakers also took votes to update abortion laws, set requirements for state school board members and keep closer track of campaign contributions. The energy bill, by Sen. Byron Sher, D-Stanford, gives the utilities until 2017 to meet the threshold, increasing the requirement each year until then. Environmental groups have warned that the...
